Fire Mt Grafton.
Special 10 Lhc Arg,c,

You have no doubt, heard, ere this,
of the terrible connagra'ion in our
city. l will briefly give you the
particulars OF the same as near as IL
can be done at this time, amidst the
excitement al around me. Your
readers are perhaps not aware that
in 1876 two or three attempts were
made to burn this same portion Of
this city, and caused 50 much alarm
among the business men that they en-.
ploye aprivate watchman, during the
summer and fall OF that year. Since
then no attempt has been made upon
the portion now burned, until yester.
day (lth) at about 3 O'clock p. m.
when fire was discovered in the base.
ment Of the building on Latrobe
street occupied by Mrs. Martin as
an ice cream saloon anil confection-
cry formerly the building occupied
by DR.. Rowar), and had been closed
since II o'clock rs Mrs. Martin, with
the citizens generally, had gone to
the Grafton Park TO picnic; bat by
timely discovery, the fire was
promptly subducd without great
deal of damage TO the building or it's
contents. But to be certain that all
was right, the buildin2 and those sur.
rounding were examined frequently
during the evening anil night up to
= O'clock n. m, when a thorough ex
animation was made by one of the
police who found every thing secure.
But about $40 o'clock a. M, fire was
discovered between the buildings of
@. w. White, tobacconst, and Mrs.
Hayes millinery store on Latrobe
street. An alarm was at once raised
which was responded to by those
living nearest the fire but finding it
impossible to extinguish it a general
alarm was sent out and the citizens
came by hundreds to lend their as
sistance; but all their efforts were in
vain. The fire spread rapidly both
east and west on Latrobe street. to
the corner Of Lgtrobe and Bridge
streets, down Bridge street to Rail
road street, and east on Railroad
street to an alley running from Main
between Messrs. T. L. Cole and /
Z. Beycrlin's furniture stores. The
Central hotel on the west side of
Bridge street was also discovered to
be on fire and was also burned. In
order to stay the progress OF the
flames futher west the frame build
ing off. A. McCabe's was torn down.
But in the mean time the fire had
crossed Latrobe street and fred the
building on the opposite conner be-
longing to Mrs. Daily then to Main
street destroying DIR. JarretGs resi-
dence- 1t then burned the dwelling
of VIM. Jennings, Woolford's store,
A. Lipscomb's drug store, DR.. Van
kinks Office, G.. w. Brown Office and
the brick building Of Mr.. Isaac Evans
at the Junction of Latrobc and Main
streets, and all this time was slowly
but surely making its way east on
the south side of Latrobe street,
crossed the alley, meantime, to the
building occupied by T. f. Coles
furniture store.
The loss is estimated at 100000.
Some Of the people on Latrobe street
lost all they possessed, save the
clothes they had on.

The Supreme Court decided the
somewhat famous divorce proceedings
Of Beyerlin vs.. Beyerlin on last sat
urday, reversing the judgment Of the
court below and dismissing the bill
Of complaint. The decision is a con.

standpoint, Of Mr. Bevcrlin, and it's

weighs 1900 pounds.
Prince Wilkes, by Red Wilkes, will go
into retirement as the most successful
campaigner Of the year. He has lost but
one race, and that to Patron at Hartford,
and had he been IN such shape as he was
at Lexington, Ky, few weeks ago,
where he defeated Belle Hamlin, the great
Patron would not have enjoyed a walk
over. In the opinion of many horsemen
Prince Wilkes is the greatest race horse
the Wilkes family has yet produced, and
that he has no equal now upon the turf
with the exception of JayEye-s5ee. The
manner in which he broke Belle Hamlin's
heart at Lexington opened the eyes of men
who believed the mare outclassed him.
He is one of the kind of horses that comes
home as strong as he goes away, and when
it comes to fighting race he is perfect
bull dog. Harry Wilkes has wonderful
record rs a campaigner. but Prince
Wilkes is a faster animal and II better
race horse.

We should like to believe that everybody

one in dozen families-no, not SO MANY

The fact is some good food is little dry.
Good reading is never peppery. We are
